The Boulder County Coroner's Office has identified the body of a 44-year-old man found Monday north of Magnolia Road near Nederland as that of Timothy Schall, of Highlands Ranch, according to a news release issued Friday.

It appears that Schall was the same man whose body was recovered by rescue workers on Monday afternoon following a 2-day search for a missing person in the area.

Officials at 5:53 p.m. Jan. 20 began searching for a missing 44-year-old Douglas County man who reportedly was in unincorporated Boulder County near Nederland, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.

At 6:15 p.m. on Jan. 20, deputies located the missing man's vehicle in the 11400 block of Magnolia Road, and immediately began to search the surrounding area on foot before dark conditions and rugged terrain forced them to suspend their efforts for the night.

The search resumed Monday morning with the help of Nederland police, volunteers from Rocky Mountain Rescue and Front Range Rescue Dogs.

At 2:30 p.m. Monday, searchers found a body matching a description of the missing man, according to officials.

Investigators indicated there were no signs of foul play.

An autopsy of Schall's body has been completed, according to the coroner's office. A determination in the cause and manner of Schall's death are pending further investigation.
